[RBW] Re: Bike lust.
I think the photo on the Riv site of the white and red Roadeo with Sram Force components did this to me. I'm currently saving for one now. I love my Sam Hillborne, but the Roadeo will fit some of the faster riding I am doing much better.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike lust.
Tim - Just saw this; thanks. How does the Atlantis look for fenders with the 60s? What are the actual measurements between the fork legs and stays at max tire width? Anyone want to trade a trike for an Atlantis??? Used the Fargo with 35 mm Kojaks to go to Presanctified (ie, reserved Eucharist) liturgy last night -- 21 m rt including stop at PO -- as, with my middle finger knuckle sprained, I can't reliably operate the single right hand brake lever on the Riv with lights. The Fargo handles decently with that wheelset, but it is nothing like the magic of the Rivs. Tangent #2: Cyo R: I done heerd tell that these don't cast a beam far enough for'ard for anything but ambling. I have one on the Fargo and simply aim it high enough to barely catch stop signs a block away: the beam is fine, in fact quite good: long and broad and wider and more squared off than that of the regular Cyo. I chose the R for the Fargo thinking its beam might be better on dirt -- which I think is the case. Not sure I don't prefer the R to the regular.

[RBW] Re: Bike lust.
Same here; Atlantis is my only data point. Biggest tires I've used are 40 mm so I've got lots of extra room. Here in So Cal the sandy stretches are short. Off-road is mostly clay adobe that isn't much different than concrete, so road tires are fine. I like the ride with the 40 mm Marathon Supremes. dougP On Mar 14, 5:19 pm, Tim Whalen whalen...@gmail.com wrote: Patrick, All I know is the Atlantis.

[RBW] Re: Bike lust.
This discussion is making me think that in a year or so if things settle down, maybe should be looking at an Atlantis again. Are times when I miss the one I sold, although it was seriously too small for me. At my weight at the time, it worked. Took less effort to get on and off. Doesn't hurt that Jim at Hiawatha built up one for a customer recently and was able to see that bike. Then again, have been trying to figure out a way to justify a SimpleOne before they are gone. Ah spring, when bike lust is heavy in the air. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Monday, March 12, 2012 11:23:46 PM UTC-5, Darin G. wrote: Ordered my new Atlantis several weeks ago. Getting excited now!

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike lust.
Depends on tires. With Jack Brown Greens, very similar. Homer is a little bit racier. Mine are both 700C, 65 cm AHH and 64 cm Atlantis. The bar/seat relationship is about the same though, since Homer's TT upslope is only 1.5 degrees while Atlantis's is 2.5 degrees. That 1 degree difference results in 1 cm of height when projected out along a 62 cm toptube. The Atlantis's wheelbase is a little longer, but keep in mind I don't have one of the newer longer chainstay Atlantises. My Atlantis chainstay is a whopping 0.5 cm longer than that on AHH. To me, they ride pretty much as designed on paper. Homer is closer to road bike quickness, a country bike that can pass for touring, but with greater weight limitations than Atlantis. I have not overloaded my Homer, but it has done great with moderate loads: loafer bagsand mini-racks front and rear, really fun to ride it this way and feel fast doing so. The Atlantis, on the other hand, demands some baggage, carries it well, and if I am slower on it, I think, "yeah, butwho cares? Look at what I'mcarrying to the party (or campsite!)" -Original Message- From: Rex Kerr <rexk...@gmail.com>Sent: Mar 13, 2012 3:52 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: Bike lust.

[RBW] Re: Bike lust.
I have, and coincidentally it was also an Atlantis. It was Tom's Atlantis.

An Atlantis will do that to you! Thanks for the link. That's a great color, and they look so good before we clutter them up with racks'n'packs. I'm plotting what color to re-paint my Atlantis for it's 10th b'day that's a possible. For some reason darker colors are catching my eye. dougP On Mar 12, 12:48 pm, jinxed hbcl...@yahoo.com wrote: Have you ever happened across a photo of a bike that makes your blood boil in a good way?

If it ever comes down to me owning only one bicycle (which I hope it never does) it would be my Atlantis.

I just took a stroll through photos I have book marked and found an interesting correlation. There are two specific bikes that led me to Rivendell. What I see now is clearly a simple math equation: Kostmans All Rounder http://www.flickr.com/photos/25841843@N05/2429259877/ + Cyclotourists Customhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/1679487194/in/faves-42027576@N00/ = Killer Atlantishttp://www.flickr.com/photos/88057131@N00/5956828630/sizes/z/in/faves-42027576@N00/ Anyway...I think it's interesting to see the examples that all of you find hits that soft spot. Also intriguing to know, is how have these bikes shaped your own purchasing, set up etc. I could easily rattle off several things I would have never given a shot had it not been for these forums. Oddly enough, although my Rivendell history is 55 Bleriot 52 Bombadil 59 Hilsen 57 Hilsen...I have not found that magic mix. I'm closebut not quite exactly there.

[RBW] Re: Bike lust.
Gun-to-the-head-you-only-get-one-bike: my Atlantis, no hesitation. It's all a matter of what you need a specific bike to do, and my Atlantis does everything I need to accomplish. The only mission that would be s severe stretch would be go-fast with truly fast people. Fortunately for me, few of my friends are fast. And when they drop me, I can hop onto a fire road, short cut the route, and catch them anyway. Stout frame, low gears chubby tires can't be beat. dougP On Mar 12, 7:42 pm, cyclotourist cyclotour...@gmail.com wrote: That's a pretty good calculus.
